The latest SCC mag has a sweet 350Z with a TT kit. Mind you it doesn't bump the power as much as you'd expect, it's till under 300hp, IIRC.
I admit the 350Z looks downright awesome from behind - it looks so squat and wide (can you tell that I am into chics butts or what?

). Th stylin is very good, but it's just not potent enough for the money.
The Cobra as cool as having +380hp is still just a Mustang. And I see more Mustangs than I can count, everyday. It's just not Aesthetically pleasing enough for me and it's road manners off the drag strip don't impress me. Give me AWD anyday.
Growing up around the WRC scene and seeing many a tough WRX - STi all the way for me if I had to by another performance car. The aftermarket is so huge for it and it's specs make it tough to beat in any situation or road condition.
The Evo would be next, but they really fugged up the front bumper on it, and in all truthfullness, it's really an Evo 7.5, so I don't likle the lying about it. Plus Mitsubishi America are a bunch of (unts! Just ask the 2nd Gen Eclipse owners how happy they are they they are dying off like the dodo due to sh!te workmanship on the american built 4G63.
As long as the engine is fully built and imported from Japan it should be OK.
